Strange Hobbies
I used to temp for Eddie Stobart in the offices, and every day you'd spot someone creeping around the parking area taking pictures of wagons.

They were called "eddie spotters" apparently.

Now bare in mind that unlike, say, trains, all of these lorries are the same, the same paint job, the same make, just completely the same, except the fact that each one had a girl's name on the front. (the cab's were all called "Emma" or "Sally" etc)

But people had actually traveled miles, sometimes hundreds of miles, to take pictures of a CAB!

Can anyone beat that?

Re: Strange Hobbies
Strange, I was going to post a similar thread today when i got the chance, mine was going to be about amateur theatre/musicals as I went to watch one of my friend's girlfriend in a musical yesterday and it got me thinking, not many people do musicals or theatre now and it could be classed as "weird" so I was going to ask the same, who has hobbies of an unusual creative nature?

Re: Strange Hobbies
Actually, I do have an odd hobby thinking about it. Not so much any more, but I used to be right into Origami. not shitty stuff like them birds with the flapping wings, but proper massive detailed models which took several hours to make.

When travelling on a motorway I always try to spot what the name is on the front of the cabs, but stress that I'm not sad enough to go round taking pictures of them.

I practise Kyudo (japanese archery). The man in this picture isn't me. He's actually good.

Re: Strange Hobbies
^^^ Fucking ace!

Aren't some of those bows about 8ft high?

I remember reading about a Samurai with a fucking immense bow and he could put arrows through two fully armoured soldiers at a time, some kind of Jap Robin Hood I think..
